100M final, max I'd pay is well errmm if someone gave me £200 quid for the bother of going to watch it I might go.

Actually would probably need £500 to make it worthwhile.

I'd not spend a bean on it. Who would spend money to watch 8 blokes run for under 10 seconds in a straight line?

[boltonboris]

£15 per second?

No thanks

[Latham8wfc]

£15 per second?

No thanks

£75 per second so roughly £750 per ticket.......

The £150 is the maximum I would pay for a ticket to watch the event, because i'd imagine it would cost another £300+ to get to London, stay over, come back etc so not worth nearly £500.

[boltonboris]

I wouldn't pay anywhere near £150..

[Lofthouse Lower]

Athletics in general is bloody tedious shit anyway. No thanks.

Bloody London

[P.O.S.]

Any update on the GB football team thing, is it happening or not?

Might see if I can get tickets to some of the games at OT if they're not too dear, could get lucky and end up watching Brazil or Spain's Olympic teams. Or er, China's

[hisroyalgingerness]

I'd def love to get close to Ennis, she's awesome

But there's only one sport I plan on paying money to watch - basketball

[Gooner Girl]

Hubby and i can't wait to go. We want to watch the athletics (though not the 100m final at that price!) and i'd like to see some gymnastics and maybe the diving. I'd most like to see the men and womens triple jump. Hoping we can get tickets...

[bobo the clown]

I would. Probably if it was just that race.

As it is the ticket will be for the whole day & at that level, once in a lifetime, yup ... sure would.

However, you won't get a ticket as the agencies will get most & package them up with hotels, travel etc., etc & charge 5 times that.

[Worthy4England]

£15 per second?

No thanks

Probably less than the running costs of a Sean Davis or a Joey O'Brien. And, you could get a couple of false starts, that dramatically lengthen the end to end time.

I wouldn't pay owt to watch it specifically, and it's not bundled with any other finals in the same 3hr session as I understood it.

arse.

I'm looking at the ticket prices, trying to organise a number of school trips for the Games.

No medal ceremony/final of any sport, other than the marathon (mostly free), the road cycling (mostly free), the triathlon (most of the cycling bit free) under £35. Apart from BMX.

Any £20 ticket will be either day time sessions, or a ground pass for the Tennis. Luckily my school is in Wimbledon.

Kid's tickets are nicely priced, but they still need a very small child:adult ratio for 7 year olds going on a school trip.

Plus, any tickets you're successful in obtaining, you MUST buy. No returns. No refunds.

There are 125,000 tickets available for schools. All are available in a special ballot. None will be available to under 10s.

Some fecking legacy this is leaving.

I'd like to take the juniors i coach at my athletics club along but i think its gonna be a non starter. Perhaps the Grand Prix at Crystal Palace is more realistic...

[Harry Genshaw]

Would love to see some boxing and handball but travel & accommodation prices me out of it before I even start thinking about bidding for tickets. If Londoners are getting all the benefit I hope to God they're paying for all of it.

[Wandering Willy]

Haven't really followed athletics much for a while now but I remember watching quite a bit during the Coe/Ovett/Cram days.

Not sure I'd pay to watch - telly for me.
